The Wethersfield Library staff is happy to help you with your book club reading needs. When requesting a title for your club, we ask all book clubs to observe the following guidelines:

1. Please wait until a book is off the best seller list before choosing it for your book club.

2. Please pick titles that were released at least 6-12 months ago. It is very difficult to get new, highly popular titles.

3. Have a substitute title. Once a title has been requested by one club, we are unable to order the same title for another club for the same month.

4. Find out how many of your members will need a copy of the book.

5. Please place your requests about 4 weeks prior to the date you will discuss the book.

6. Please request only one title a month for your club.

Thank you very much! Please call 860-257-2811 if you have any questions.

Book Club in a Bag

How to Borrow a Book Club in a Bag:
One member of the group borrows the bag for the group with his or her library card.
That patron is responsible for distributing the books to the group members and for returning all
books after the discussion. A sign out sheet is included in the bag so the group can keep track of the books.
• Bags may be checked out for six weeks. They are not renewable.
• No more than 1 bag may be borrowed at one time by a book club.
• The replacement cost of individual parts of a bag is $10 per item or replacement of the lost book with a paperback copy.
• The Book Club bag must be returned with all its contents at the same time.
• Bags must be returned inside the Library (please do not put them in the book drop or return them to another library).
• You may reserve only one bag by calling the Adult Information Service Desk at
860-257-2811
• 10 books in every bag. Discussion questions included. Author notes included.
You cannot place a hold on the bag through our catalogue.
